I just build my kegerator to a functional point. I still have some fascia to complete to make it pretty. I force carbonated two kegs at a buddy's house while constructing this. Here is the reason for my following question. I connected the gas line to the keg and heard a dripping noise...

I brewed an Oktoberfest partial mash kit from Midwest in February. (Febtoberfest?) When I bottled it 3 weeks ago, I sampled it and got a weird flavor. I just assumed it was green and went on bottling hoping for it to mellow out. This last weekend I opened a bottle and that flavor was still...

I got an email from northern brewer advertising their surplus of 5 gallon kegs. They have a special going on right now if you buy 4 of them. I just ordered their set of four and had a total w/ shipping of $87.98. Normally it would be $34.99 each +shipping for a total of around $150 for...

After a fortunate misunderstanding in the ordering process, I am now making my first partial mash. Having helped with batches before but never ordered, I was under the impression that the term for the extract kits which happened to have 12 oz or so of grains was Partial Mash. I now know that I...

My first batch is an extract kit. My local homebrew shop disects the brewers best kits and then builds his own based on their recipes. This particular one was a Continental Pilsner. OG 1.044. Primary at 71-73 degrees for one week. After no noticable movement in the airlock, I took a reading...
